1. Is it sturdy or not?
The degree of sturdiness is mainly determined by its manufacturing process, the presence or absence of an internal skeleton, and the material of the outer shell. Cycling helmets are composed of an outer shell and an internal cushioning material. Due to the different combination methods, they can be divided into two forms: integral molding and non-integrating molding.
One-piece molding means that the shell and buffer material are put into the machine for one-time processing; non-integrative molding means that the foam is first formed, and then the finished shell is put on the foam. The one-piece helmet shell and internal cushioning material have a better fit and greater strength, which can better protect our head. Rather than being integrally formed, it is relatively weaker.
Helmet skeleton, by laying a skeleton in the helmet (which can be brain-filled to be similar to laying a skeleton on a ship), in order to improve the overall strength of the helmet, reduce the possibility of disintegration, and help the helmet maintain the overall shape. In the past, this technology was mostly used on top helmets, and now this technology is also being distributed to more product lines.
There is not much to say about the shell material, its own nature determines its characteristics. In simple terms, the firmness of the helmet is: internal skeleton + integral molding > integral molding > non-integrated molding.
2. Security (protection)
This can mainly be judged from the type of helmet, internal cushioning material and safety technology. Faced with more challenges in mountain biking, its helmet has a larger protective area, and its overall protection is better than that of road riding helmets of the same level. In general, it can be understood as conventional full-face helmet > Enduro full-face helmet / detachable full-face helmet > mountain half helmet > road riding helmet.
As for the internal buffer material, due to the technology, bias, and trade-off of each company in the design, it is difficult to quantify and compare its performance. The most simple and direct way is to understand its performance through its safety certification. It mainly includes three system standards: CE, CPSC and AS/NZS.
In addition to the equipment of conventional helmets, additional safety technology can bring higher safety. Examples include MIPS and Wavecel structures that prevent concussions.
